Green Bay is said to have the best fans in the NFL. When the Packers go to work the fans do too. In the weeks leading up to a Green Bay Packers' football season, the team can be found on the training field preparing to put the heat on their opponents, while the fans can be found manning their grills, ready to heat up a home game barbecue.
For Packers fans, game time doesn't start at kickoff. It begins hours earlier in the parking lots surrounding Lambeau Field. Green Bay Packer tickets offer fans much more than a football game; they invite them to meet America's best football fans at the greatest pre- game parties in the league.
Tailgating is a time for all fans to unite with one another in the name of sportsmanship. Prior to kickoff, an overall sense of community pervades Lambeau Field that is detectable in the sights, smells and sounds present in the crowds. Fans indicate who they support by decorating their party sites with the colors and logos of their home team. Displaying their devotion on a range of items from clothing and dining ware to their own bodies and vehicles, Packers fans have proven each game that a Green Bay Packer ticket calls for them to enter the stadium with the utmost enthusiasm for their "Pack." They set a precedent for franchise appreciation that encourages the opposition's fans to approach Lambeau Field with a similar passion for their own team.
The spirit of Packers fans is contagious, and they do everything they can on game days to share it with their tailgating neighbors. Hanging personal flags to mark their locations, fans establish a welcoming open-door policy with one another that they especially value when the cooking begins. The best thing to bring to a Green Bay tailgate party, with the exception of Green Bay Packer tickets, is an appetite. At Lambeau Field, the smell of a roaring grill is a temptation that no Packers' fan can avoid.
As the delicious, smoky scents from each site's distinctive backyard barbecue mingle together in the air, tailgaters are lured to nearby partiers to taste and boastfully compare their football feasts. Beneath the plumes of smoke suspended over grills, fans can be seen huddled together eating around hot coals in the winter or caught in a friendly game of parking lot football in the fall. Grilling everything from hotdogs, brats and burgers to steak, ribs and shrimp, the sound of friendly bantering among the cooks can be heard at every site. Whether fans are exchanging recipes or good-natured competition, a feeling of camaraderie is the foremost emotion cultivated in the hours before the game.
With the Green Bay Packers ticketed as the most unique franchise in the NFL, it's expected that they also host the most unique tailgate celebrations in the league. Green Bay's fans are personally invested in their team and see game days as events at which to thank one another for their commitment to the Packers. Tailgating sets the spirit and tone of the games. The connection between the fans and players wouldn't be the same without it.
